Map of Iceland over a solar eclipse image. Text reads "Sail into the Path of the Solar Eclipse." Major cities are marked.

Awaken each day to waterfalls, fjords, and volcanic landscapes on a 5-night journey uniquely timed to perfectly position you for a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event: Iceland's first total solar eclipse in over 70 years, on August 12th.

Aboard Evrima, you'll witness two minutes of complete darkness as the moon obscures the sun — a phenomenon that won't return to Iceland until 2196.
